Default Anyone have Modulo Suspension? (Factory Performance)

I read in Road & Track a while back that Honda had a Factory Performance kit for the S2000 in Japan (over there called Modulo) that was not going to be available in the US.

I was just wondering if anyone had managed to get a kit over here and if so, what their impressions were of the new suspension you get with it.

Thanks.

i was thinking about getting it. it lowers the car about 1/4 of an inch. i think it came out to about 1100 US dollars, but the shipping will probably be expensive. Maybe we can do a group buy?

My friend translated and it read "the ride is stiff and will feel like you are riding a horse".... DOPE!!!

Honestly I was hoping for more than 1/4 drop. I'd be interested to hear anymore details people can post...

Depends on the install. If Honda does the install it's covered. If you do it, it would not be covered.

I would be really interested if it becomes available here. I feel the stock ride isn't stiff enough and the suspension movements aren't as quick and "efficient" looking as I hoped it would be. The stock height is fine by me but I guess 1/4 inch wouldn't be so bad. Besides, it would be better to have your car handle extraordinarily and have it as close to stock height as possible so people would be saying to themselves, "wow, a stock S2000 handles that well?" lol
